I think one reason I ended up being a scooter enthusiast as opposed to a bicycle enthusiast is that for some god-forsaken reason cyclists think they need to wear that ridiculous spandex crap. I think they believe it makes them look like Lance Armstrong, but it actually makes them look like a sausage. And not the good kind of sausage, either.

I have never seen a scooterist in spandex. And before anybody does a google image search, I'd rather keep it that way.

well i'm an avid cyclist and scooterist. in fact i work for a bicycles parts distibutor.
while i'm not a fan of lycra and spandex, i can see benefits for using/wearing it.
however, the people that shouldn't be wearing it always do. another example is the beach. there certainly are people at the beach that wear suits that god probably didn't intend for them to squeeze into.
and it's always the people that you don't want to see naked that are exhibitionists. or at least that is my experience.

The thing the cops busted was a bunch of hippies that were just being dumb. They were in really shitty makeup, and doing a shaky "dance", fucking with people along Nicollet Mall. Cops came up to them and asked what they were doing, and they refused to respond to that or repeated requests for ID.

The Zombie Pub Crawl is something different entirely. Don't mix them up with those dipshits downtown.
